Spiderman + Big Chute = New Sport "Paraclimbing"


also "Parabatics"

It seems to have caught on a lot in Eastern Europe. I remember some EE guys at Treasure Island slow trimming a big chute on the beach.

Here is some Stateside examples:




Despite this guy seemingly instructing a lot, the soundtracS-P-A-M-L-I-N-K-s disabled because of music background. Dumb. But hey, where's his kneepads if he's around all those rocks?

Wow, that looks fun as heck but in addition to lots of recommended safety tactics being broken, I'd be worried sick about hooking that several thousand dollar sail on a roof edge or something.

And don't forget the tresspassing and reckless endangerment charges to name a few that would be levied against the majority of the people who try this in any type of populated area.

Looks like fun, just not practical in populated places.

In some ways it reminds me of the unweighted traversal of the barb wire fence in a video posted fairly recently.

Looks to have possibilties for 2+nd burglary work... Hollywood would have an absolute field day with this (see rappelling run down City Hall in Resident Evil: Apocalypse).

Wonder what the theme park is going to look like? :o :rolleyes:

ATB,
Sam

Yeah!
Hollywood and Hong Fu moves had a recent fad of running-along-the-walls special effects.
Now it be done in real life (but the wires aren't removed digitally). :bouncy:
